STILL-LIFE DRAWING
A still life is a drawing or painting of inanimate objects arranged together. Shading is important in still life drawings as it creates form, texture, and the illusion of depth. There are three main parts to shade - the highlight, half-tone, and cast shadow. Different shading techniques include hatching, cross-hatching, smudging, pointillism, and squirkling. Hatching uses parallel lines, cross-hatching overlaps lines, and smudging blends shades smoothly.

- 12. The three main partsof a subject that need to be shaded properly are: 1.HIGHLIGHT 2.HALF-TONE 3.CAST SHADOW
- 13. HIGHLIGHT - the areawhere reflected light is the brightest.
- 14. HALF-TONE - includes the middletones lightness and darkness of the shaded areas.
- 15. CAST SHADOW - thedark or shadow formed next to a surface that is turned away from the source of light.

- 17. Shading is oneof the most important features in drawing.
- 18. Hatching - use ofa parallel lines drawn closely together in the same direction.
- 19. Cross-Hatching - almost thesame as hatching but with another set of parallel lines overlapping the other set in the opposite direction.
- 20. Smudging or SmoothShading - creates soft and smooth shading effects. - you can apply it by blurring and blending the shading with the use of your fingertips.
- 21. Pointillism - use ofdots to shade an area. - the closer the dots are and the more dots an area of a drawing has, the darker the drawing appears.
- 22. Squirkling - when youdoodle or scribble with circles to create various textures such as rough or fuzzy fabrics and curly hair in your drawing.
